==========
Long Data Type
Long (long integer) variables are stored as signed 32-bit (4-byte) numbers ranging in value from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. The type-declaration character for Long is the ampersand (&).

>The solution is using ths CInt function.
No it's not.
You ask how to declare, not how to convert.
Anyways, the CInt will not convert to a Long integer, but to a "Short" Integer.
There is a difference in the maximum possible number that can be converted (about 32,000).
